What is in your soap?Benzene Benzene is derived from coal tar, and exposure routes of benzene are inhalation and ingestion. Benzene is commonly found In: adhesives, asphalts, calibrating fluid, charcoal lighter fluid, cigarette lighter fluid, contact cements, gasoline, glues, kerosene, hydraulic fluids, inks and ink markers, lacquer thinner, pesticides, processing film, rubber cement, solvents, vinyl thinner, detergents and occasionally in hair conditioner and styling lotion. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identifies benzene as a known human respiratory toxicant and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies benzene as a known human carcinogen. Prop 65 identifies benzene as a concern for both cancer and developmental toxicity. Occupational exposure to benzene can be absorbed through intact skin and affect the liver, blood and metabolism and is linked to leukemia. It May also cause adverse reproductive effects in female fertility and cause birth defects. It can pass through the placental barrier and has been detected in maternal milk and in the urinary system.
